With over 60,000 copies in print, Church Administration in the Black Perspective, first published in 1976, has become a classic reference manual. African American pastors look to this informational guide as a source for details on church structure, management, and organization.

This revised edition features updated language, and fresh information in such areas as budgeting and the use of modern technology. The authors supply detailed information on:

• creating a church budget,
• the role of websites, computer technology, and cable access television
• effectively organizing church boards and committees

The authors’ perspectives are well grounded in the experience of the African American Christian community, as the text explores how the African heritage and slave experience have molded black church traditions.
